It doesn't seem very different when I tried it on the realms.
During those tests, I used 100% crushing blow as a gauge (no knockback or hit freeze) and the amount of time I needed to bring monsters' life to say 25% is very close. On the realms, the differences in speeds could be something like hone sundan at 13 (or 15) fpa and a knout at 8 fpa. If it's dependent on weapon speeds, it should be very visible but i'm simply not observing it :(.
And with my HC blade shield sin who alternates between Hone Sundan, Grim's Burning Dead and a 'black' flail, it didn't feel like the pulse rate was higher with black either.
